$A$ block of weight $1 \,N$ rests on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The minimum force that has to be applied parallel to the inclined plane to make the body just move up the plane is

  • A
    $\mu \sin \theta$
  • B
    $\mu \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\mu \cos \theta - \sin \theta$
  • D
